repurposing

Rather than waste or eliminate items which you don__ currently use, discover a new way to improve and enjoy their value. What strengths and talents can you repurpose for a new endeavor? How can you re-purpose your thoughts to ensure they help you rather than hinder?

Friedrich Nietzsche, who famously gave us the __od is dead_ phrase was interested in the sources of morality. He warned that the emergence of something (whether an organ, a legal institution, or a religious ritual) is never to be confused with its acquired purpose: __nything in existence, having somehow come about, is continually interpreted anew, requisitioned anew, transformed and redirected to a new purpose._ This is a liberating thought, which teaches us to never hold the history of something against its possible applications. Even if computers started out as calculators, that doesn__ prevent us from playing games on them. (47) (quoting Nietzsche, the Genealogy of Morals)
